BetrnetRF: Betrnet Stem Cells and the Origins of Barrett's Esophagus Project 3 RF Ablation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine biomarkers which can predict response to ablation therapy in patients with Barretts esophagus.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Detailed Description
This Project is designed to identify biologically-based and clinically-useful biomarkers of tissue at risk for neoplastic progression as well as of response to ablation therapy. These results will result in improved risk stratification in BE and better targeting of resources for patients who are candidates for ablative therapy, while simultaneously providing key information regarding the origins of Barrett's esophagus.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Radiofrequency ablation participants with barrett's esophagus with high grade dysplasia who undergo radiofrequency ablation (RFA) |
Genetic: response to therapy
evaluate specific markers for response to therapy at specific intervals pre and post therapy
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Response to therapy [one year post ablation]
evaulation will be made at 3 month intervals for one year post ablation
